John 1:1
“Same As He Ever Was”: The Word …

Was (Still Is)
Was With God (Still Is)
Was God (Still Is)

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. NIV

Only God Could Precede the “Beginning”

John 1:20-21, 24-25
John Didn’t Make False Claims About Himself

NOT Messiah
NOT Elijah
NOT “the Prophet”

He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, “I am not the Christ.” They asked him, “Then who are you? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.” [...] Now some Pharisees who had been sent questioned him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?” NIV

John 2:14-15
For Sale for too Much when Money was Exchanged for too Little

Cattle
Sheep
Doves

Jesus Made Change

Made a Whip
Drove All Out
Scattered Money Changers’ Coins
Overturned Their Tables

In the temple courts he found men selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple area, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. NIV
